Two ways to buy Core

Pay-as-you-go starts at 15 GB ($14.85), drops to $0.79/GB from 1,000 GB, and the data doesn’t expire. The monthly Core plan includes 100 GB for $49 and charges $0.49 for each extra gigabyte². The break-even is low: from about 50 GB a month, the plan is cheaper than pay-as-you-go — if you’ll use the traffic every month. For irregular use, pay-as-you-go wins because nothing expires.

Premium Residential is a separate, curated pool with ISP-level targeting and pool selection, at $3.98/GB pay-as-you-go and “as low as $2.20/GB” on the largest plans². This review is about Core, which is what makes Evomi notable.

The multipliers

Core’s rate covers country, region, city and ISP targeting. Some extras are charged in traffic rather than dollars. Proxyway lists 6× for the “more IPs” option, 4× for ASN targeting and 2× each for a fraud-score filter and a minimum-latency filter — up to 15× in extreme combinations¹. Do the sums before switching them on: ASN-targeted Core traffic works out at $3.96/GB, about what Decodo charges pay-as-you-go³, and “more IPs” mode at $5.94/GB.

Trial and refunds

Every Evomi product can start on a free trial, which continues at the plan price unless you cancel inside the trial window — set a reminder. Refunds are available for 30 days, but only if you’ve used no more than 10% of the allowance or 1 GB, whichever is smaller². That is a long window with a tight usage cap: enough to back out of a purchase you haven’t really started, not to recover money after a failed test.

Targeting, protocols and sessions

Targeting

Country, region, city and ISP included at the base rate; ASN targeting uses 4× the traffic^2,1

Multipliers

Up to 15× in extreme cases: 6× for more IPs, 4× for ASN targeting, 2× each for fraud-score and minimum-latency filters¹

Protocols

HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on one endpoint²

Sticky sessions

Up to 120 minutes¹

Authentication

No IP whitelisting; no sub-users¹

One endpoint serves HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5², and sticky sessions last up to 120 minutes¹ — enough for most multi-step flows, short of Decodo’s 24 hours⁴ or IPRoyal’s seven days⁵.

Two gaps matter for teams. There is no IP whitelisting, so every tool must send credentials, and there are no sub-users, so everyone shares one account and one balance¹. Evomi also blocks financial, government and mailing websites outright¹.

Sourcing, KYC and trust

Company

Switzerland; founded 2024¹

Pool

Claims “54M+ ethically sourced” IPs; Proxyway measured 1,499,867 unique IPs over 21 days^2,1

KYC

None at signup; may be required later if activity looks suspicious¹

Blocked targets

Financial, government and mailing sites¹

Support

24/7 live chat, tickets, Slack¹

Evomi describes its IPs as “ethically sourced” and claims a pool of more than 54 million². We found no independent rating of its consent practices — Synthient, which rates PacketStream, had no Evomi rating we could find — and the pricing page doesn’t say where the IPs come from. Treat “ethically sourced” as a claim, not a finding, and put the questions in our sourcing guide to Evomi before you buy at volume.

There is no KYC at signup, though you may be asked to complete it later if your activity looks suspicious¹. That makes Evomi quick to start with and reliant on enforcement after the fact.

The measured pool is the bigger question for buyers. Proxyway counted 1,499,867 unique IPs over 21 days and called the Core pool “tiny compared to most alternatives”¹. For comparison, it counted 2,853,543 for Decodo and 3,241,404 for Oxylabs in April 2026^6,7. A smaller pool means more repeat IPs — and a higher chance that a busy target has already seen them. Evomi’s answer is the “more IPs” option, which is to say a bigger pool costs six times as much traffic.

Independent performance evidence

On infrastructure Core did very well. The global gateway succeeded 99.91% of the time with a 0.70 s average, and US and UK exits averaged 0.30 s and 0.23 s¹. That puts it in the same league as Decodo (99.92%, 0.53 s) and Oxylabs (99.93%, 0.60 s) in their April 2026 tests^6,7, at a quarter of Decodo’s pay-as-you-go price.

These are success rates against Proxyway’s own small test page, not against hard targets. A small pool tends to show its weakness on heavily protected sites that track IP reputation, which this kind of test doesn’t measure. Try your own targets during the trial.

Pros and cons

Who should pick Evomi — and who shouldn’t

Pick it if

• You want the lowest per-GB price and need city or ISP targeting, not just country.
• You want a small, non-expiring first purchase: about $15 for 15 GB².
• You use 50 GB or more every month — the $49 plan beats almost everything here on price.
• You want live chat at any hour¹.

Skip it if

• You rotate through very large numbers of IPs against strict targets; a larger measured pool such as Oxylabs or Decodo fits better.
• You depend on ASN targeting or extra-IP modes — at 4–6× traffic, the price advantage disappears¹.
• You need IP whitelisting or separate sub-user accounts¹.
• You want a long track record: Evomi was founded in 2024. PacketStream (founded 2018) offers a flat $1/GB with no multipliers at all.

Alternatives to Evomi

• PacketStream review — one flat $1/GB with no multipliers for any feature it offers.
• Rayobyte review — pay-as-you-go with ZIP, ASN and OS targeting, from $2/GB at 50 GB.
• Decodo review — nearly twice the measured unique IPs and 24-hour sessions, at a higher price.
